test/langtools/tools/javac/sym/ElementStructureTest fails: what does it mean?

[Jan Lahoda]

Hi Raffaello,


The test is printing the whole stored/recorded JDK 7 and 8 API, computes 
a digest from it, and checkes if it matches the expected value. And, 
there are some double constants in the API, (e.g. in java.lang.Double), 
and these presumably may be printed in a different way after your patch. 
I'll check manually if the results make sense, and we can then update 
the hashes (we could also use a more resilient way to print doubles, 
together with updating the hashes).
